Welcome to Perry, Georgia.
Perry is a city located in Houston County, Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 9,602.
Nestled in the heart of Georgia lies the quaint, but thriving city of Perry. Founded in 1821 through a treaty with the Creek Indians, Houston (pronounced "Howston") County extended from the Ocmulgee River on the eastern boundary to the Flint River on the western boundary. Incorporated in 1824, Perry received its name from Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry for his triumph at Lake Erie in the War of 1812.
Originally called "Wattsville", Perry is now known to many as the "Crossroads of Georgia" because of its location at the intersection of Highways US 341, US 41, GA 127, and I-75. This prime location has encouraged tourism throughout Perry's history, and has been instrumental in making it the area's number one industry. Today Perry has 23 motels offering over 1700 rooms.
The outpouring of team spirit and sense of community pride make Perry a good place to do business and a great place to raise a family. Perry has been the crossroads since the Creek Indians traveled on their early trade routes and presently as travelers use the many roads of today that pass through this way.
